National Conference, President Farooq Abdullah on Friday sought immediate clearance of snow from different roads to remote areas of north Kashmir, saying the disruption of connectivity has put the local people in duress.

While expressing concern over the difficulties faced by
people of remote hamlets of north Kashmir, Abdullah said major roads connecting
Dawar, Kanzalwun, Keran, Karna, Gurez and Jumgund to their district
headquarters have not been cleared of snow yet.

He said people living in these areas were going through
immense difficulties. “Dearth of necessary items, including medicines and
ration is also severely felt in all those area. The students, elderly and
patients are in particular at the receiving end due to the blockage of roads
connecting these far-flung areas to district headquarters,” Abdullah said.

He said the health centers in these areas were bereft of
required paramedical staff and medicines.

“The situation is no different in the snow bound region of
Chenab region where access to all upper hamlets is yet to be restored,”
Abdullah said. “No satisfactory measures are being undertaken to clear snow
from roads connecting far-flung areas with their respective district
headquarters.”
